What does it mean to be free?

Congrats to the winner of the Linux Foundation's commercial contest!! I really like the video, a lot!



Open Source is the future of the world. For all those who say it isn't.. Go join the camp who was against Orville and Wilbur Wright, ya know the guys who revolutionized the world with flight after all the "experts" said it couldn't be done.

Soon proprietary software will be a thing of the past and we will find ourselves telling stories that are start with, "Can you believe we use to pay for proprietary software!".

Here are the runner up videos which I thought we're excellent as well!

This one had a bit of Harold and Kumar spin to it!

A-Pod part 1 - New robot with some amazing music!

If you have some good headphones that can pump out some bass then put them on! This song is by Trifonic and is called Lies. This song reminds me a lot of Stabbing Westward, which was one of my favorite bands when I was a teen!

The robots are coming! We must embrace the technology and not resist it. People fought computers once to you know. Now we all use them because they do many of the mundane tasks so much better. Jacque Fresco talks alot about how we will use new technologies to make this world a better place and explains why their isn't logical basis for fearing robots and new tech. His book is called "The best that money can't buy" and is amazing!

Dealing with Impossible Crises

http://danieltenner.com/posts/0007-dealing-with-impossible-crises.html

Highly recommended article for dealing with situations that may seam impossible to overcome. Daniel Tenner has some great words of wisdom here. I sent this to some of my close friends recently and amazingly to my surprise many responded and actually thanked me for sending it. Most of the time my emails don't get much response. So, this tells you that this is good and you should invest 5 minutes of your life into reading this article.

Enjoy!

A rather sad story

http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/johann-hari/the-dark-side-of-dubai-1664368.html

I just read this story. I shed a few tears at how some of these people are treated, slaves who somehow got sucked into thinking it would be a better life. One woman even left her child behind and is now stuck with no passport to get back.

Humans have to be the most cruel species on this planet. We must evolve past this level. Humans are one.
